Thanks, Chair.

Mr. Wilson, I was really fascinated by what you were talking about, getting more women in manufacturing.

I run a program here called “Young Women in Leadership”, and I had Jean Lucas, from Eco Waste Solutions, offer to take young women into her business. We had a hard time getting these high school students to go to Eco Waste Solutions. When they went, they actually loved it.

Is there anything the government could do to support your program to get more women in manufacturing, recognizing that women have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic?
